In short: An enjoyable race on a good route, plenty of parking and toiletsIn full: A good race but should have provided water as stated in the prerace info rather than revolting sport's drink. The first mouthfull was my last and it gave me a real shock. Just plain water next year please.Date of review: March 23, 2005

In short: A chance for Milton Keynes to dispel some myths ...In full: Remember to start your watch as you set off in case there isn't a clock next year either. If the organisers get the basics right in terms of WATER and timing, then this will be a perfect race.Date of review: March 21, 2005

In short: Only one complaint...In full: Would definitely do the race again as it was well organised and friendly. Only complaint was the Vittel 'flavoured' water, which didn't taste good. The bottles were far too big, expected just normal water. Got stomach cramps at 12.5 miles, don't know whether it was down to this or not, ruined a decent chance of a PB...Date of review: March 21, 2005

In short: What was with the flavoured water - dont do that again!In full: Good race and well supported along the route. My only complaint was the water was disgusting and the bottles were too big. Runners need drinks on the way round and I think you should just supply the normal Vittel, this stuff was so disgusting I had to go without -not ideal. Liked the fact that they were giving out Lucozade at the end. Very well marshalled and good flat route suitable to get a PB.Where was the goody bag????Date of review: March 21, 2005

In short: Brilliant marshalling and more scenic than I had imagined MK would be!In full: Lots of marshalls along the way - brilliant support. Water stations great - but why such large bottles?- what a waste!! Can't believe it was adidas sponsored, not cheap to enter and not a goody bag in sight. Well organised and scenery better than I imagined. Wish I had done more training though!!Date of review: March 21, 2005

In short: Good parking, accurate mile markers, started on time and well marshalled.In full: Broke 90 minutes for the first time so naturally delighted, but... water as well as sports drinks would have helped and the massive bottles are completely impractical.Date of review: March 21, 2005

In short: Very well organised race.In full: My second half marathon and definately has PB potential. Very well organised, plenty of marshalls and police. The right amount of water stations, the only gripe i have is the 750ml Vittel flavoured water - too big bottles, a real waste of plastic since only wanted a couple of gulps and made me feel sick, all i wanted was fresh, cold water, already had my own lucozade for emergencies. But overall, highly recommended, would probably do it again considering its proximity to London. My favourite race so far.Date of review: March 20, 2005
